Pittsburgh, Pa. — Eighth-ranked NC State wrestling (11-2, 1-0 ACC) opened their conference slate with a 31-6 victory over No. 19 Pitt (7-6, 0-1 ACC) Friday evening.
The Wolfpack won eight bouts on the night, acquiring six individual ranked wins. Derek Fields and Alex Faison sealed back-to-back upsets at 165 and 174 pounds to strike down Pitt's chance to come back in front of 2,000 spectators.
Jarrett Trombley re-entered the lineup at 125 pounds to start off the night in the steel city. His major decision over Pitt's #31 Colton Camacho put the red-and-white on the board first. Sixth-ranked Kai Orine pushed the lead with his own major decision over a top-20 opponent.
Pitt got on the board after Cole Matthews defeated Ryan Jack 15-10 in a nail biting bout that included multiple reviews by the refs on calls.
Fourth-ranked Jackson Arrington propelled the energy for his team after he defeated his former teammate #29 Finn Solomon in another close battle at 149 pounds. NC State wouldn't slow down again for the next three match-ups.
Seventh-ranked Ed Scott got his job done with a 16-3 controlling win at 157 pounds to make the team score 15-3. Fields and Faison performed in the spotlight with their upset victories to secure their team win.
Dylan Fishback was knotted up with Pitt's #12 Reece Heller at 3-3 start the third period. Heller secured an escape right away and Fishback was unable to score, coming up short 3-4 and doubling the Panther's team score to six.
Fourth-ranked Trent Hidlay at 197 pounds and No. 14 Owen Trephan at 285 pounds put the nails in the coffin when they each handled business with technical falls.
Next up, the Wolfpack come back home to host triangle rival, North Carolina on Friday night at 8:30 p.m. on the ACC Network.
